Meal with the Mind Flayer - a Christmas Murder Mystery with Santac'Laus

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Santac'Laus: a mind flayer dressed in a Santa outfit and carrying a sack, surrounded by presents.

Meal with the Mind Flayer is a standalone Christmas-themed murder mystery designed for 4th level adventurers. The setting is non-specific and can be dropped into any campaign world.

Christmas is coming! As the nights draw in and the snowy climate of the north spreads southwards across the land, dwellers in cities, villages and the wilds alike all prepare for the festive season. Since the arrival in the world of Santac'Laus the Christmas mind flayer, the tradition of giving and receiving presents has become established.

Previously, Santac'Laus terrorised the halfling village of Flodur (as told in Santac'Laus is Coming to Town). This year, he has invited a number of friends and acquaintances to his mansion for Christmas. Little does he know, his guests will soon be solving his murder...

The adventure includes a mixture of combat, dinner and party games with a set of bizarre monstrous guests, and exploration of Santac'Laus' mansion in search of clues to find the murderer. It contains a Dyson Logos map, custom stat blocks and magic items, tips on the design to help you run it, and a few puns.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
